SHERIFF GARCIA ACCEPTS BOOKS FROM A LOCAL AUTHOR TO ENHANCE INCARCERATED INDIVIDUALS' PROGRAMMING
Buffalo, NY – Erie County Sheriff John C. Garcia announced today the donation of 100 books to enhance inmate programs for the holding center and correctional facility.
The Sheriff’s Office received the generous donation of “Rerouting: Resilience Tools and Tactics” through community donations and a contribution from City of Buffalo District Councilman Rasheed Wyatt.
Sheriff Garcia said, “I want to thank the councilman and the community for this great donation. Individuals at the jails are at a low point, and through our programs and services, my administration wishes to provide the tools to take them in a new direction. A direction that does not lead them back to jail. Mr. Kirkwood’s book is an inspirational tool that can help people change and become more resilient.”
The books are distributed to the holding center and the correctional facility and available to all incarcerated individuals and reentry programs.
